Terribly realistic

Rating: 10/10 (29 June 2005)

It's scary and suspenseful because of the situation they are in, but it isn't dead people walking around because of some voodoo, magic, or satanic karma nonsense; they have a disease, kind of like rabies, only much faster. This is the kind of thing that could actually happen. The movie follows one guy in his struggle to survive as he joins with others to form a small group. As the group gets bigger, the dynamics of the relationships these people have with each other become strained, and that's where the real story is. Our main guy stops running scared from the infected. He takes the offensive against the real bad guys who are other uninfected people. At least they're uninfected by the "rage" virus, but they have some lustful desires that they are too eager to act out with unwilling women in the group. Now that makes for an interesting dynamic!
